Welcome to the Website of Jill & Arthur Ray

A Nostalgic look from '60's onwards

I was persuaded to get up & sing a couple of songs. Arthur played
guitar while sitting behind a kit of drums. He began to play the bass
drum along with the hi-hat just to keep the tempo. It seemed to go quite
well & at the end of the night the landlord asked if we would like
to do every Saturday.After a few weeks we decided to get some business cards printed.
We started to get a few regular gigs & in September 1969 turned
professional.

We entered competion for M&B brewery & from that
we got regular work on the pub & club circuit all around the
Midlands area during the '70's sometimes doing as many as 10 shows a
week by doubling on Friday/Saturday & Sundays

We
gigged extensively throughout the UK doing Cabaret/Theatre venues plus
worked for the British forces bases both UK Germany.
